R,I,P.

I loved that show.

The last of the cast.

I have been hoping he would make it to 100 - he was such a fine character there.

R.I.P., Robert, and thanks for all the laughs.

Kenneth Washington is still alive, but he was just Kinchloe's replacement.

Others may be, but had less than 10 episodes to their name, then.

Wow, Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) made it to 98 before he died. Well done, General.

RIP

Rest easily, Robert.

RIP

You have to wonder how an actual concentration camp survivor could stand to appear in a show that treats Nazi camps (even granting it was supposed to be a mere POW camp) as a laughing matter. Well, he stuck it to the Nazis by fighting his way through to another 77 years of life. RIP.

RIP

Werner Klemperer (Col. Klink) said they did it to stick it in the Nazi's eye. Klemperer, John Banner (Schultz), Leon Askin (Burkhalter), and Howard Caine (Hochstetter) were all Jewish. Klemperer, Banner, and Askin had all had escaped Germany/Austria way before the concentration camps were in full force (except Clary). Caine was an American (Kentucky), but was Jewish all the same.

Huge HH fan here.

The last of my video spams. Howard Caine portraying a German Jew with guess who.........


Werner Klemperer is also in this movie. He plays a Nazi being tried at Nuremberg. Good movie, btw.

Thanks for the vids, Mark! Big fan here too.

What a mensch. It amazes me how he kept his sense of humor and joy for life after what he went through.

Safe journey. May it be sweet and short.

Yep. The argument can be made the portraying the Nazis as cowardly, ineffectual buffoons rather than as objects of fear serves to demystify them, and thus undermines the potential appeal of Neo-Nazism to the ignorant.
